How do I make this hole bigger?
I need to SLIGHTLY enlarge this hole for my new helm. I have a hole saw of the correct size. How do you keep the drill from walking since there is nothing for the center bit to drill in to? Any ideas?

die grinder, but rest your hand on a solid object and keep the bit deep in the hole so it doesn't get away from you and hack things up.
